103:1 | Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. |
103:2 | Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- |
103:3 | who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, |
103:4 | who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, |
103:5 | who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
103:6 | The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. |
103:7 | He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: |
103:8 | The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. |
103:9 | He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; |
103:10 | he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. |
103:11 | For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; |
103:12 | as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. |
103:13 | As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; |
103:14 | for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. |
103:15 | As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; |
103:16 | the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. |
103:17 | But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- |
103:18 | with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. |
103:19 | The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. |
103:20 | Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. |
103:21 | Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. |
103:22 | Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
